This Is The Most Popular Macaroni & Cheese Recipe On Pinterest

There's a holiday for just about everything these days, and while you don't always time to celebrate them all, this one definitely demands acknowledgment. July 14th is National Macaroni and Cheese Day, and there is literally no better way to commemorate it than with making the most pinned mac & cheese recipe on the internet. Seriously—put down that blue box. You're better than that.

If you're thinking the most pinned recipe has got to be some over-the-top creation, some complicated, gourmet dish that looks straight out of the most food porny Instagram account, then you would be 180 degrees in the opposite direction. Pinterest let us in on their most pinned macaroni and cheese recipe, and it looks ... like a damn good, homestyle mac & cheese. The picture is a little blurry and it's not exactly the kind of image that would cover a magazine or anything, but it's got all the basics you need for a bomb mac and cheese. Bread crumbs, pasta, and most importantly: ALL the melting, gooey cheese.

The best part? This recipe is only made with five basic ingredients, so it proves that while over-the-top creations totally look cool, what the people want is basic, homestyle cooking that they can relate to. And personally, we think it looks pretty damn good. (Well, maybe not all of us).
